A tiny mistake? Etzel Send a noteboard - 28/11/2009 08:48:37 AM
In the scene where Perrin inspects the wagons, he muses:
"Perrin continued working with the wheel; he wasn't as familiar with carpentry as he was with smithing, but his father had taught each of his sons to recognize signs of trouble in a wagon."

"Each of his sons" sounds to me as if Perrin had several brothers. However, according to Encyclopaedia WoT Perrin had only one brother, Paetram, and two sisters. Paetram was nine, when he was killed by Fain in TSR. He was eight when Perrin left the Two Rivers in EotW. It seems a bit unlikely to teach a boy that young to inspect wagons, or not?

Well, I don't know how old you are... - 28/11/2009 09:02:30 AM 531 Views
In today's terms pre-teen seems too young - 28/11/2009 05:39:03 PM 479 Views
Nah, not too young to teach the basics. On a farm, they'd learn even earlier I'd think. *NM* - 28/11/2009 09:09:05 AM 179 Views
Yeah? - 28/11/2009 09:22:52 AM 519 Views
On a farm? With absolutely no machinery? Are you kidding? - 28/11/2009 11:15:42 AM 534 Views
Ah, ok. One never ceases to learn! *NM* - 28/11/2009 11:25:59 AM 415 Views
Definitely 110% for sure and probably younger than that. (I live in Nebraska). - 28/11/2009 05:42:40 PM 483 Views
